Banff banking hub proposal will be discussed at drop-in event
A drop-in event will focus on bringing a banking hub to a town.
Cash Access UK has arranged the session at The Vinery in Banff which will take place on Thursday, October 24 from 10am to 2pm.
Local people will be able to discuss the plans to open a banking hub in the town.
The move follows the announcement of the last banks left in the town to close their branches in the near future.
In Banff, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Clydesdale Bank have closed with the Bank of Scotland and TSB set to shut soon.
Aberdeenshire North and Moray East MP Seamus Logan is urging people to attend the event.
He said: “While the relentless closure of bank branches the length and breadth of the country continues to deprive communities of local access to financial advice or easy access to cash, I’m very pleased that progress is being made in bringing a banking hub to Banff.
“This will bring together all the major banks on different days across the hub where customers will still be able to access staff from their own bank.
“This drop-in event is therefore an excellent opportunity for people in the area not only to find out more but to demonstrate that there is a need for such a facility in Banff to serve the local community.”
